How do I take a pic of someone with a bright sky and some landmark behind them?Either the person gets dark or the sky overblown.

10$ reflector.
>>4307723You bring those on vacation?
>>4307724I did, 60x90 cm one, while folded it's like 30 cm circle in its bag and it's flat.
>>4307716Bracketing and smashing the photos together in post. It’s what those hdr photographers are doing. My camera has a burst setting so you can do it in the context of hand holding a pic of someone. For best results use a tripod
>>4307716Base ISO and exposure +1 highlights -100. Anyone telling you to add light sources takes uncanny mid 2ks mommy with a camera firstname lastname photography tier portraits. If you dont have at least 3 lights flash is a documentarian tool. 1 light flash invariably looks like shit.
>>4307716most important thing no one has said yet: SHOOT RAWAnd OP seems new enough to need to be told this. Jpeg doesn't have enough range for this kind of editing.
>>4307757Yes and if you have 14bit RAW, use that over 12bit.
>>4307716Shoot raw and do basically this >>4307750 or just do a shadow lift. There's more noise in the shadows which is why most people who take cameras seriously at least use APS-C, to minimize that and get as much detail recovery as they can without resorting to flash. That's also why most micro four thirds users do boring loser photography like taking snapshits of birds in a local park from their car with a 1200mm lens. Something as simple as their girlfriend backlit in front of a landmark on a trip becomes an exercise in emulating the practices of the film days>hold still while i position the strobe, my loveAn iphone does something similar to >>4307748, for EVERY PHOTO, which is where a lot of the smearing comes from. Things never align between multiple exposures. This was the old practice of boomer landscape photographers, hence why their photos look like hyper-detailed iphone slop and they love iphones.

>>43077891 light flash does invariably look like shitThe single worst gear purchase of my life is buying a single strobe and a medium sized softbox. It looks like shit as is, so you have to at least add a reflector as a kicker. But it still looks like shit then, and everyone taking the aritifically lit photos i like has a second strobe as the kicker, not a reflector, another diffusion panel in front of the main light's 80" softbox, a backlight, and lights on the background - i don't have a studio so I don't have a background.I ended up never using it because I don't have a studio. You can get far better aesthetics by placing people in front of windows or under trees.
>>4307765>mft users have girlfriends and practice proper camera technique to extract max quality per image taken Can't argue with either of those points, darn
>>4307793>mft users have girlfriendshad, she left for chad when he took a better pic on his fuji with DRO400 turned on and sent it to his instax printer
>>4307794have again, she came back for the thermal printer
>>4307765If my phone can do it so easily why is it a pain on my camera?
>>4308295On your camera the blur from motion/alignment errors looks obviously bad because it is mixed with real details so you go "wow, HDR sucks" because it is higher resolutionOn your phone the entire photo is already smeary sharpened blotches so it's just a little ghosting sometimes, nothing stands out if everything is shit
